EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster, titled "Beat Back the Hun with Liberty Bonds," was created during the height of the First World War in 1917-1918 to rally American support and raise funds for the war effort. The graphic design, a potent symbol of the national sentiment against Germany during this period, features a menacing and frightening German soldier with bloodied fingers and a bayonet. The image was intended to instill fear and anger towards the enemy, and to encourage Americans to buy Liberty Bonds, which were used to finance the war. The poster's bold and dynamic composition, with its striking use of color and bold typography, effectively conveyed the urgency and importance of the cause. This historical artifact is a testament to the creative ways in which governments and communities have mobilized public opinion and resources during times of war. The poster's enduring impact underscores the power of graphic art as a tool for shaping public discourse and inspiring collective action.
